I am sure that it is the person behind the iPhone camera that should get the accolades! I love the patterns of the tracks. Who was there? What did he do? Like a Wyeth painting!
That's my husband trying to A) not freeze solid as a post while trying to B) look through frozen tears into that white-hot glare. The severe cold made everything feel like arctic deprivation. Casey, the cold clear air made things appear closer than they were. That huge cottonwood tree is over1/3 mile away. Celeste, you're right; it looks like a dream. Felt like one, too. That talented little camera's stabilizer steadied my shivering so I could accurately take the shot of the unreal.
I should add that we call that "the Eagle Tree". A nesting pair lives there. A prairie dog colony at its feet and Rabbit Mountain rising just to the west make for some fine dining.
I am Sam Hannaway, and I share this blog with the dogs in my life. Being creative soothes my soul, so I write when I have something to say, paint when words don't cut it and try to follow the dogs' advice with grace. They say to keep it simple.

Very cool.
And I'm jealous you have a better iPhone than me.

An amazing photo--I love the lonely tree and all the tracks.
An amazing Colorado vista! I can feel the cold, too. Happy New Year, Sam!
